- gshdg 7y agoAnd a lot of stupidly optimized-for-chrome sites break in it. Plus extensibility is limited.
- princekolt 7y agoMaybe if everything you use is a web-app that makes sense, but I avoid that like the plague. Maybe in the wonderful world of Silicon Valley you can rely on that, but in the real world internet connectivity can be choppy, especially when inside trains and planes.
- gshdg 7y agoMost startup workplaces these days use a lot of SaaS apps. Not like you have a choice to avoid web apps.
- kenbellows 7y agoNowadays many applications, and especially most big-name business application suites (G Suite, Microsoft Office online, etc), are converting all their web applications to Progressive Web Apps, adding Service Workers and such so that they work just fine when you're offline and sync to backup document changes and such whenever you reconnect later. Give it a couple years and it won't be a problem anymore.
- pwinnski 7y agoAre these publicly-available sites, or private web apps? I can't remember seeing sites that break Safari, but I'm sure I'm just lucky.
- tapoxi 7y agoIn my case our SSO requires a FIDO U2F hardware token and Safari doesn't support FIDO U2F at all. Someone wrote a third party extension but I can't get that working.

If there is one specific website that requires Google Chrome, you could use Google Chrome for that and use Mozilla Firefox for everything else?
